The entire point of AI is to have that magic mystery black box as origin point: unquestionable and impervious. A puppet god that tech companies control but are never responsible for.
Its not at all surprising though. Once stuff goes into the black box suddenly no one is accountable or responsible for the results! The best in corporate handwashing.
With an added bonus runaround of "only the vendor can fix it" trying to exhaust the customer so they give up.

I looked up the "goto statements considered harmful" letter and idly scrolled pdf. To find "Language protection by trademark ill-advised", a conversation of about the merits and drawbacks of trademarking you proglang names.

Linux maintainers should really step back and think why programming language library managers happened instead of ranting on stage that they exist.

I have just compiled Rust code for bare-metal SPARCV8 and executed it under Solaris 2.6 on a microSPARC-II.
I suspect that no-one has ever done this before. Literally no-one.

Merz hat für seinen neuen Kurs u.A. mit dem Versprechen geworben, damit lasse sich die AfD zurückdrängen. Heute lässt sich selbst mit viel Fantasie kaum noch leugnen, wie krachend er damit gescheitert ist.

It’s a small story but the small stuff is what counts over the years, I think. And it illustrates who he was to me: always smiling, cracking jokes, a good software engineer and an even better guy. I’ll miss him a lot.

Anyway we ended up making some kind of mistake, and got on the wrong train. I was freaking out a bit, but Piotr was so chill. He reassured me we’d be fine. We got off in some random tiny town, got new tickets, got on the right train, and he was 100% right: it was all fine.

One time, we were in Belgium, at the same conference. I was still getting used to riding trains around (I love you Amtrak but it’s not the same), and so Piotr offered to go to the airport with me, after all, our flights were even at roughly the same time!

Just a great person. I’m glad to have been able to be his friend.
